Cryosurgery

Cryotherapy is a method of freezing which uses a substance called liquid nitrogen. A carefully controlled amount of liquid nitrogen is applied to an affected area of skin. This has the effect of freezing the targeted cells and destroying the lesion. Cryotherapy can be used for a number of different skin conditions, such as warts and verrucas; seborrhoeic warts; sun damage (solar keratoses); and small fleshy growths.
